Bayern Munich 9/5
Won it last year, and look even better this. Already Bundesliga champions, so they can rest key players for the European games, and they’ve got United in the quarters, which is basically a bye to the semis. 9/5 might seem generous, but it’s likely to fall once they’ve won by 3 or 4 at Old Trafford tonight, so get in quick.

Real Madrid 3/1
Shorter than Barca by dint of facing slightly weaker opposition this round, but the most likely Spanish contender regardless. Two reasons, Bale and Ronaldo (alright, Modric too, so three), they’ll pull anyone apart on their day, and those days just so happen to be pretty frequent. Could happen.

Barcelona 4/1
Messi’s fit and scoring again and if they can get past Atletico then there’s no reason why they can’t go all the way. Doing so won’t be easy though, and with that in mind 4/1 seems a bit short. Might be best to hold off on this one, see how it pans out and that.

Chelsea 10/1
They might not look like much at the moment, but they didn’t when they won it two years ago either. That’s your underdog-previous taken care of, and then there’s Mourinho, being Mourinho, with Mourinho-previous. Still unlikely, perhaps, but well worth a couple of quid at 10/1.

Paris St Germain 12/1
Petro-billions eh? Generally takes a while for the European domination to catch up with the domestic, just ask Man City. Could cause Chelsea some Zlatan-shaped problems, but probably a bit soon for them to go and actually win it.

Atletico Madrid 20/1
Doesn’t seem overly likely, granted, but they are top of La Liga, so 20/1’s a bit harsh. Did I say harsh? I meant amazing value. Also, Diego Costa.

Dortmund 33/1
Lovely football and everything, and thanks to Bayern their league campaign is over too. But Real….

Man Utd 33/1
‘You never know, stranger things have happened…’ When?

Real Madrid 3/1

i said them from the start,but dont know now,the pressure on them is immense,hope they do win it,but athletico could well be right up for it.

Had a cheeky fiver on Atletico at the beginning so fingers crossed.

Hoping Real Madrid Win it,

I like Carlo as a manager, and nothing else but a win will see him sacked. Been nice to watch the BBVA and see another team involved and win the league.

Will be a great final later.

for fuck sake, subbed off after 10 mins

I did a sweepstake of all players in the hat, pulled out Godin and Costa, so was inevitably waiting for atheltico to score first and it came in, just although raul garcia did his best to try and take it away and my winnings of 20 off a 1.

Good to see Bale scoring the winner! A spurs fan btw, hopefully he'll come home soon with Luka and light up the lane again! (yeah right)

All things told, the better side on the night won but it was cruel on Atletico to get so close and falter in injury time. What got into Simone is beyond me and he needs to curb that side of his persona as it could stop him getting a top, top job (no offence to Atletico)

yes just as i thought back in march.next season they,ll probably get close again.

I predicted Madrid aswell

Very apt after a long wait,for all real madrid fans and gooners

so glad that athletic madrid did not win the champions league fins the other day. because i felt as soon as they scored they reverted to negative chelea like tactics and tried their best to ruin the spectacle for the neutrals.

They had to play like that against real madrid otherwise they would have got destroyed in 90 mins, look at what happened in et when they started going for it. I felt sorry for them because they worked so hard.
